  • Type of Piano:
  • Length:4 ft.
  • Width:2 ft.
  • Height:4 ft.

Special Handling Instructions:
This mini piano is on the ground floor, just a few feed near an exit, and can be loaded directly onto a trunk backed right up to the door.
Additional Information: As you can see from the water bottle sitting on the keyboard This is "mini" or very small novelty piano less than four feet high and four feet long--about the size of a small roll top desk. It is quite easy to move. My concern is ensuring that it is properly padded and protected during transport to avoid any possible scratching or damage. Report a Violation

Questions for this shipment: 

Question: do yo have a target price (11/25/2007)
Response: We do not have a target price as we have never had an item like this shipped to us from another state. However, this piano is going to a nonprofit theater group that performs free of charge at hospitals and retirement homes so every dollar of savings is important. (11/25/2007)
Response: I am leaving either Monday or next Monday my fuel round trip from Indainola Iowa will be about $1600.00 at 7 mpgI have to pay a guy to go with me to help load drive and unload is $900.00 fair Thanks (11/25/2007)
Response: We greatly appreciate this first bid but it is way more than we paid for the piano. Also, this piano is way smaller and lighter than a standard upright piano. It would be more like moving a desk. Moving this item is fairly simple; the truck can literally back up to the door and we can have an extra guy or two to help load it with the same arrangement at the destination. It's the distance that is our cost challenge. We hoping we can find someone who can squeeze this in with a truck or moving van already scheduled to come to Los Angeles. (11/25/2007)
Response: Ok I will watch it thanks (11/25/2007)
Question: Ive got a load going to Washington and am hoping to build a load down to southern Ca and then back to PA. If I can get it together I can do your run for 450.00. We will pack your piano with clean dry shipping pads and secure it with straps. Let me know ASAP if this is agreeable with you. Thank You Thomas Lehnerd, Destiny Systems (12/1/2007)
Response: Thomas, Our budget is very tight; if you will accept $400, the job is yours! Tyler (12/1/2007)
Response: Hello and thank you for your response. I wish I could do the trip for 400. My Last drop is 1100 miles from LA. my bid of 450 does not quite pay for the fuel for me to come pick up. My intention is to get paying loads headed home (Butler, PA) for Christmas. My bid of 450 is a nice gesture because you are donating the piano to a non-profit. I am sorry but it is the best I can do. Thank you for your interest. Thomas Lehnerd, Destiny Systems. Let your Destination be our Destiny! (12/2/2007)
Response: Hi Thomas, We greatly appreciate the thoughtful gesture as, clearly,you are going out of your way for us. We accept your bid. How do we proceed from here? Tyler (12/2/2007)
Response: I will now place a formal bid. You accept the bid and I will send you an email with further instructions and an invoice. (12/2/2007)
